Default 'Born To Be My Baby'

I realise here at JT that single-song threads aren't usually welcomed and they lead to many more single-song threads within the week, but I must comment on this song.

First of all, if you had asked me about this song two weeks ago, I'd have said that it's an average song from a great album which gets played live at every show and I would rather leave it than take it.

However...I have discovered that this track is just fantastic. Everything from Jon's vocals to Richie's guitar work is well crafted, and while not an overly-complex song, everything seems to fit well. Fair enough, the lyrics and message may be a little cheesy, but this is Bon Jovi, so those points don't count.

Live, I believe this song does it's job brilliantly, too. It works anywhere in the set (I prefer it in the slot it was in during the 'Bounce tour', late in the main set) and it gets the crowd going with the singalong.

Basically...this song has pushed into my top ten. And I have enjoyed this opportunity to rave about a song which is possibly either a fan favourite, or just a song that people don't have much of an opinion on...
